Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 grams new potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 120 milliliters white wine
- 120 milliliters chicken or vegetable stock
- 15 grams fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and, if large, cut them in half. Smaller potatoes can be kept whole.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the new potatoes to the pan and stir to coat them evenly in the garlic and oil.
Pour in the white wine and chicken or vegetable stock. Stir gently and bring the liquid to a simmer.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes cook over low to medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to allow the liquid to reduce for 3-5 minutes, creating a slightly thicker sauce that coats the potatoes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the butter until melted, followed by the fresh basil leaves.
Season the potatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
If desired, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish for roasted meats, grilled fish, or as a standalone vegetarian option.
